OF THE two hundred thousand people who
admired the magnificent chariot in W hich the
Fire King rode at the storming of the ice
castle only few knew of the serio-comical
adventure some of the carnival directors had
with the vehicle just before the carnival
opened. On the Saturday before the opening
of the carnival it occurred to Manager VAN
SLYKE that he had better make trial of the
chariot to see that it was in good running
order 1t was brought and ateam of horses
htched to it. DANIEL Moon was prevailed
on to impersonate the Fire King. Mounted
on his throne, the amateur fiery monarch
was being driven in royal state toward
the palace grounds when the fore runners of
the vehicle suddenly dropped into q rut and
pitched the gasoline tank forward, which had
been negligently left uncovered. Mr.. Moon
was suddenly impressed with the belief that
there had been volcanic eruption in that
neighborhood, and that he was the Vesuvius
down whose sides the fiery lava was pouring.
1t was close call for both himself and the
driver. By dint of exertion on the part of

THE CANALPROLECT.

Mr.. FOLSOM takes up the cudgel this
morning in defense of the canal project.
He says that an accurate scientific survey
was not made because the appropriation of
1875 was not sufficient. but that the survey
went far enough to demonstrate the prac-
ticability of connecting the st. CroiX and
Lake Superior waters. So far as the I'M
portance of this canal is concerned, it cam
not be over-estimated. At the same time
the state and national governments will not
want to waste any money on project that
is impracticable. The national govern
ment ought to make the preliminary sur
vey, and there can be no reasonable objec-
ton to the state legislature memorializng
congress in favor Of the proposition. If it
is once demonstrated by survey made by
competent engineers that the canal cannot
be constructed, that will be an end to it.
But ii it should turn out, as it probably
will, that an accurate survey would demon
strate that the scheme is feasible and could
be accomplished at an expense not exceed
ing $40, 600, 600, then there should be no
delay III pushing it to completion.

classes of people or those who do not
care to buy the high-priced whiskies
and fancy drinks which are sold in the
tony saloons. The effect of high license
will be to close the beer saloons and to
open up more whisky shops. So far as
the public safety is concerned and the pub
lie morals are to he regarded, a policy of
this kind has the appearance of putting the
cart before the horse. Beer is COMPARE
lively innocent drink, While whisky is the
real bane of life. If the American people
could be induced to forego whisky entirely
and drink beer and wine exclusively, as
they do i'll Germany and France, we would
make longer strides in the direction of tenn
perance than has ever yet been made And
yet it is a singular faulty on the part of
our temperance reformers to advocate a
policy just the reverse of what ought to be
done

STAND FIRM. GOV. PIERCE.

The information comes to the GLOBE from
perfectly reliable source that Gov. PIERCE
not standing as firm as he should against
the pressure being brought into play to in
duce him to usurp Gov. CHURCH's preroga-
tive and appoint Dakota's territorial officers
for the ensuing four years. Doubtless, con-
Sidering the supposed hold it would give
him upon several gentlemen more or less in
fiuential in political way, there is a strong
temptation for Gov. PIERCE to disregard
courtesy and take the appointments out of
GOV. CHURCH's hands. Conservative pol
iticians, however, are of the opin-
ion that PIERCE could not conf
NIT political suicide in more eff
fectual manner. Such action would not
only ALLEVIATE every Democrat in the terri
tory who is now disposed to regard him IA
vorably, but would also disgust every fair
minded Republican, for fair play is one of
the most marked Dakota characteristics.
Gov. PIERCE cannot afford to listen to the
anxious pleas OF the hungry seekers after
Office unless he is prepared to forego all
idea of political future in Dakota Even
if, disregardng every other consideration
which should have weight, he looks at the
matter from selfish standpoint alone, he
will, if wise come to the conclusion that
his proper course is TO stand steadfast
and firm against the pressure which is being
exerted to force him to make appointments
which in equity, if not in law. belong to

COMMENT By THE PRESS.
A Dyspeptfc Grammarian.

Delavan Herald.
On Saturday last we called at the carnival
grounds, in st. Paul. for the purpose of pay
ing our respects to the Ice King. but his royal
highness was not at home. and consequently
our stay at the palace was very lonesome
affair, there being no one around except
about dozen school children Sliding down
hill and skating on two by four rink, and
dozen Indians in tent in one corner OF the
grounds dancing for dimes; We called again
in the evening with no better success. BY this
time we began to get desperate. we had come
two hundred miles with the firm determine
ton of seeing the ''sights" and we had been
travelling around all day expecting every
minute to catch glimpse OF them, but thus
far we had been disappointed. But in the
course OF our wanderlngs we we learned that
there was to be a grand carnival concert at
the opera house that evening. and so we con-
cluded that as there was no one OF the palace.
there must be a great crowd at the opera
house, and so we pulled out for the concert
with full head of steam and desire TO see
all there was TO be seen. Arriving at our
new destination we found about one hundred
people. principally '.suppes'' and dead heads,
listening to an orchestra OF IA pieces playing
pieces playing selections from III Travatore'
ard the Might Hawks. We have no doubt
that there are few people on this mundane
sphere that will claim that this performance

RETRoGADE TEMPERANCE.

Gen. NETTLEToN frankly admitted in
his speech last night that high license would
not stop the liquor traffic. He gave ii out
cold that the boys who wanted to whet
their whistles would still have the chance
to do so il high license did prevail. From
his standpoint we take it that the moral eff
fects of high license measure rest on a
revenue basis only, the object being to get
the most revenue into the treasury without
regard TO the amount of liquor that is sold.
He came nearer TO reaching practical dis
cusson of the question than any of his asso-
ciateS.
Still when we get down to real practi-
cal view Of the subject it is difficult to see
how high license will in any sense restrict
the liquor traffic. That it will transfer it
into the hands of fewer people is admit
ted, but that it will in any sense limit or
diminish the quantity sold Is altogether i'm
probable. The effect will be to kill off the
small saloons. where very little if any alco-
holic spirits are sold. The principal traffic
in the small saloons is in beer and light
wines. They are patlonzeG by the poorer

AS nation we are not great skaters.
Some good performers there are; yet men
who skate-taking the term to mean some
thing more than merely floundering along
in the most ungr aceful attitudes-afe COM
paratively few in number. As the news
papers tell us, crowds of people flock to the
nearest pond long before the ice bears. TO
the masses, the existence of an acre or two
of ice means the extension of available
Fairgrounds, and. upon the principle of any
thing for change, great numbers resort to
every frozen puddle. And what do they
do when they get there? Sliders are
numerous: more than half the skaters find
it necessary to brandsh a stick as a means
of retaining their balance; man doing
outside edge is almost sure of a gallery,
while anything beyond this raises the
skater to the position OF an expert. Yet,
skating in England has, in point of profic-
iency. made rapid strides within the last
fifty years; and a few-but very few-of
our best skaters can hold their own with
the representatives of any nation.

Dear Sir: Your Saturdays issue contains

possessing the least degree of manhood
would not question the facts as set forth
that large reservoirs can be established
near the divide on any Of the head waters of
the St. CroiX. Another Misrepresentation

Nico got out at the union depot. The vote
was to be taken at II and Nico wanted to be
there. Jumping into hack he ordered the
driver to make the capitol in the least posi-
bic time In his hurry to get out his pants
caught on the handle of the door, and gen.
erous portion of this necessary article
was left behind. But he gathered his long

Why Clarke Fought Judson.

The state agricultural society has elected
H. E. Hoard secretary. Hoard is fair coun-

son can run ali around him as an energetic

son is q wiry, KEEN active business man, an d
can do more work for the fair in one week
than Hoard can do in two months. But it
seems that Judson stood in the way of N. P.
Clarke and few other kindred spirits who
want TO run the society. The expenditures
of the society are very heavy. and there are
thousands of dollars worth of patronage con-
nected with it. Judson is no tool and there
tore it was decided to get rid of him. The
most suspicious feature of the new organiza-
ton is the fact that the crowd back of them
are hardly the kind of people to represent
the agricultural interests of the state.

1t is perhaps impossible for the people of

nuisance the bouncing business in vogue III

than a nuisance; it is a criminal assault for
which the perpetrators should be promptly
held res ponsihle. At least one young man so
assaulted last winter, to our personal knowl-
edge. has not seen a well day since, and has
become an invalid. ANY person suffering
from organic diseases, such rs heart trouble,
asthma, or consumption, would stand in
danger of immediate death. Many people
have kept well away from St. Paul and the
carnival this season because of their fear of
the brutalities Of the ST. Paul roughs. Others.
OF d different nature, have gone there deter
mined and prepared TO defend themselves.
